NORRES modifies its product range: now antistatic as specific standard
Abrasion-proof and antistatic
NORRES Schlauchtechnik starts off its anniversary year 2014 by offering its reliable and solid AIRDUC® PUR 350 MHF AS, 355 AS and 356 AS models as an antistatic version as standard and at no additional cost. This is also valid for the PROTAPE® PUR 301 AS. Not only are all of the hoses antistatic, they are also all highly abrasion-proof. The new hoses have the same continuous conduction properties without migrating antistatics. A property that consolidates the reliability of these hoses in everyday uses, thereby substantially expanding the ranges of application.
Long lifetimes and reliable use
With their long service lives and diverse possibilities of use, the AIRDUC® PUR 350 MHF AS, 355 AS and 356 AS and the PROTAPE® PUR 301 AS not only convince when used with high flow-rates of abrasive substances but also when transporting powder and dust, not to forget fibres and chips. This is due to the flow-optimized wall made of permanent antistatic premium ether-polyurethane and the level of abrasion-proofness that is 2.5-5 times higher than that of most rubber materials. The ensures a longer service life and therefore cost savings in the daily use, especially when abrasive solids flow through that are frequently transported using these hoses. The fact that these hoses are now available in an antistatic version ex warehouse means that they have an electrical resistance and a surface resistance of < 109 Ω.
New innovations and services
Numerous product and service innovations are planned for the NORRES anniversary year, during which the manufacturer of technical hoses and hose solutions, cable protection systems and environmental solutions will be celebrating its 125th year. The ball will start rolling by additing to the range of specific hoses from the successful product portfolio so that they will then have antistatic properties. In this segment, NORRES has for many years been working on high quality additives for the raw materials which as non-migrating antistatic agents ensure the constant conductability and in turn, the manufacturer’s quality standards.
